Being an account of one yarnthirsty wench and her never ending quest for the land of milk, honey and natural fibers!

I got absolutely no knitting or spinning done today.

I did, however, buy this:

Her name is Natasha.

ETA: Natasha is a 2007 Honda Fit Sport. She's awfully snazzy. My mom got the salesman so flustered that he threw in the spiffy rims for free after we made him take them off the deal (they were 'spensive) and then she said, "But we want the tires after all and we want you to give them to us." and he laughed and then he realized she was serious and then he turned rather pale and then he said yes to keep us from going to the other Honda dealership. My mother is a barracuda on the negotiating floor. I got a *great* deal.

Hmmmm.........a barracuda? Well, I guess that's an ok description as long as its limited to the negotiating floor. Perhaps I should consider a new career? ...I am, after all, just a little ol' grandma!(Ha and if you believe that, we have this bridge.....)Seriously, Rainy, it was fun and I love you and I'm very glad you got your new car......Mom

I'm a bit jealous, never having had a new car, but I can live. A huge number of my cars have been free! And the one I have now is free and works really well (although stodgy).

But we are almost full of happy over here as well since we spent all day yesterday having our new fiber optic cable with DVR installed, yay! I get all excited about this stuff, silly me. And I spun up a bunch of fake-Kauni yarn for socks while the installer was here. Now if only the manager can get my laptop back on the 'net this morning, I will be happy as a clam!
